Research project to examing impacts of towers on sage-grouse. Sage-grouse are considered to be very sensitive to towers, yet the mechanism is unknown. This research will examine the mechanism of the impact and provide applicable recommendations for minimizing impacts or for mitigation

Candidate Conservation Agreements (CCAs) with Assurances (CCAAs) are valuable conservation tools developed with landowners in conjunction with the FWS to conserve species at risk with the intent of negating an Endangered Species Act listing action. Monitoring is typically the responsibility of the landowner, with varying levels of monitoring of biological parameters (e.g., vegetation characteristics). We propose a pilot project to assess if these conservation tools are actually meeting their intended purpose, provide essential information for any necessary adaptive management and inform future CCAs and CCAAs. Without this information, we will be unable to determine whether FWS conservation efforts are eliciting...
